About the author

The art of writing has always fascinated me. Writing a book has been a long-term goal of mine. However, as we all know, life can get too busy to pursue our dreams. After my soulmate passed away, writing became a great way to cope with my grief and improve my writing skills.

I am a father to four beautiful children, have four grandchildren, and my loving four-legged companion, Angel, who is aptly named.
